The enormous financial gap between the Premier League's 'top six' and the rest is set to widen even further.

England's top-flight is the most watched league in world football and has managed to secure an incredibly lucrative new overseas TV deal.

The popularity of the league across the globe is quite ridiculous and the new deal will see the Premier League exceed the £4bn mark for the first time between 2019-2022.

China is now the second-biggest market for the league with £535m worth of rights.

As per the Telegraph, the value of overseas rights has increased by 25%, but it certainly won't aid those further down the table.

For the first time ever, the cash for clubs will be divided by league position and it will not be an equal share.

The top six have been pushing that formula for some time now and it will finally come into effect.

So just how impactful will this be? Well the Telegraph have provided some research to highlight just how big the gulf will now be.

All Premier League clubs currently receive £40.7m from overseas rights, which they will all still earn.

However, the surplus is what will be divided unfairly now and here's how the payment of foreign broadcasting is likely to work out in the near future.

The champions would bank an extra £23.8m and in total £74.5m

The team that finishes tenth would earn an extra £13.09m, taking their total to around £53.8m.

And finally, the side that finishes rock-bottom would pocket a measly £1.19m extra, taking their total to £41.9m.

That certainly is a major shift...

With the top six already flexing their muscle on the pitch in 2019/20, the added prospect of further financial superiority is looking damning for the rest

The likelihood of a new side breaking into the top six is looking less and less likely.
